Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

A Home-Based Functional Hand-Extremity Assessment System for Stroke Rehabilitation

What survivor gives a fuck about assessment? They want solutions you blithering idiots. Get them there or get out of the way.

Abstract:
This paper presents a novel hand-grip system for evaluation and rehabilitation of individuals with stroke. This system contains a pair of hand dynamometers, which are sensors for the input of grip force, and LabVIEW VI software to translate the grip force into meaningful data. The hand-grip system requires the subjects to move a small ball on a computer screen toward a target, using the hand grip sensor to control the movement of the ball. It goes far beyond measuring maximum grip strength, a common clinical assessment, to adapt grip force and coordinate hands to perform daily functional activities. This system also provides advancement in home-rehabilitation options to improve the hand-grip control of individuals with stroke.
